We have an open floor plan. In the kitchen there is a large window. On the same wall but in the gathering room are two smaller, non-operational windows. I want to put a woven wood shade on the kitchen window and would also like to do it on the other two. They are all 16 inches down from the ceiling.

I don’t want to cover much of the non-operational windows, maybe just a few inches. The shade doesn’t even have to be operational either.

I’m thinking to come a few inches down from the top of the ceiling and just cover the tops of the smaller windows. I would do all outside mounts for continuity.

Should the kitchen window be at the same height from the ceiling as the other two? Am I thinking this through correctly?
